Physip was founded in 2002 as a spin-off from Paris Tech, an engineering school based in Paris specialized in telecommunications. The company specializes in sleep and vigilance analysis using brain activity measured with electroencephalography (EEG). Physip provides researchers, clinicians and industrial R&D services with a range of innovative software and automated monitoring solutions for sleep analysis, sleep pressure measurement and risk of impaired performance. During its development phase, from 2008 to 2015, the company worked on providing services on EEG sleep data in collaboration with a number of French and international universities, clinical centres and institutes. It also received support from the French Ministry of Higher Education for its R&D activities.
